1. Cayuse - How do I update opportunities?

2. Updating the Opportunity List  After you log into Cayuse, go to your “Admin” tab. NOTE: your PI does not have an “Admin” tab; instead, (s)he has a “Preferences” tab.  Click on the “Update Opportunity List” hyperlink

3.  The next screen will list all of the opportunities currently downloaded into the Cayuse database.  If you do not see the opportunity listed, find the opportunity number and put it in the “Opportunity Number” box. Or, put in the CFDA number instead.

4.  Press “Retrieve Opportunities” button and wait while Cayuse contacts the Grants.gov server for the application packet.

5.  The window will refresh and provide a status update message.  If the message states “1 opportunities updated…” the opportunity should appear in the list.  If the opportunity is supported, the PI can use Cayuse to apply.

6. How do I know if the opportunity is supported?  Unsupported opportunities have a yellow triangular icon with an exclamation mark immediately to the left.  If your opportunity is unsupported, the PI will have to use Grants.gov forms to apply for funding.
